10. Over 91 million acres of land were dedicated to the production of organic foods and livestock around the world in 2009. How wonderful!

Every year, a carbon footprint is produced by releasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Similarly, a food-print is also produced through hidden emissions of the foods humans choose to eat. Unlike vehicles, no one can see greenhouse gases getting released from a piece of barbequed steak or a delicious burger, but that does not mean it doesn’t exist. Some foods even release more carbon dioxide than others!
